For the first three seasons of Butch Davis’ tenure at the helm of FIU, he had the luxury of having a future NFL draft pick quarterbacking his teams. Most college football teams, if not all, would experience some type of drop in production from the position following the graduation of pro-level talent at the position.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, production from the quarterback spot didn’t drop — it fell off of a proverbial cliff. Entering 2021, the production is bound to improve, because it can’t get much worse.
Davis was never able to settle on a primary starter.
